justicereigns | [Voice / Action] Backdated to the 9th (but available for all new feathers)

Attention newcomers and those familiar with Ikki.

He is not allowed anymore booze, don't set him free. [As he says this, Ikki can be heard protesting in the background.]

I have better things to do than be handcuffed like a criminal!

It's for your own good. I'm keeping the key on me, don't even try to get it. You can get out when you aren't going to get drunk again.

Argh! Couldn't you have got the worried samaritan act tomorrow?!

As for any other new feathers, once you've checked in at the Welcome Center and settled in, I'm Smoker, I offer training in the jitte or kickboxing. There's a Draft here every so often so there's no telling when you'll need to be able to fight. Might as well learn while you can. And I'd like to speak to anyone interested in setting up a more permanent justice system for this place. That is all.

[ooc: Ikki's been getting drunk constantly lately (back to back important sad dates for him) so Smoker handcuffed him with seastone in apartment. Action spam is totally welcome. Smoker won't stay in their apartment, and he is keeping the key on him like he said. The cuffs are incredibly strong. But simply trying to let Ikki out to steal the cuffs might be hard unless you're Mr. 3. If your character would want to try to steal the cuffs though, let me know and we can work something out XD]

Not as far as I know. Though I don't think he's really putting an effort on it while being here, not unless they actually do something worth chasing while in here.

Oh? And what does he consider worth chasing? People who like drinking?

Apparently. Guess the bar is on borrowed time then.

[Chuckles.]

He should handcuff himself first though, it's not as if he has never gotten drunk.

Marines are always so hypocritical like that, eh. Still you sound like friends.... Except that friends don't handcuff each other. How often do you go drinking?

[Might as well see if marine tactics would work on Shanks.]

[Ikki snorts at that.]

Humans are hypocritical by nature, and deities as far as I know. I'm definitively not a saint either.

[Pause... Well, that was pretty ironical, yes. Bad wording there, oh, well, no way back now.]

Not often... It has just been a specially bad month but I didn't have intentions to keep it up after today.

What's so special about today? [Sneaking down from the rooftop now.]

I just want to forget things for today, or rather stop thinking. It wouldn't be a problem if this place wasn't the way it is or if there was an experiment going on.

[Yep, now would have been a good time for an experiment. Really Luceti Land helped to keep him a bit distracted. Only a bit but... It was better than nothing.]

What happens tomorrow? Do you need to forget things then too?

[Hovering down windows, bleh... locked... back to the roof he goes.]

No, they will still be there, definitively, but I'll deal with it, as always. I'm just tired of dealing with it today. Have you never wanted to just stop and sit for a while after you have been doing the same thing your whole life?

Of course. And a friend would help you find a way to do that. Maybe he just doesn't know how friendship works.

[SO easy to mock marines when you don't have to talk to them, YUP.]

[That actually makes Ikki chuckle.]

He's not the only friend who seems to not know how that works, me included.

Oh? What do you mean? [Entry through the rooftop = success so far. Now to just do it without Smoker spotting him.]

Apparently several people agree with him on keeping me away from alcohol.

[Definitively, he needs more people who don't care.]

Eh? They don't believe in personal responsibility?

Apparently no. Neither that I'm old enough to take my own decisions.

All right I'll see what I can do about breaking you out then, eh?

Tell Shanks I'm going to need his help though. I can't pick a lock half as well as him, one arm or not. [NEVER TELL ANYONE HE COMPLIMENTED SHANKS.] That and it's probably seastone. Shanks isn't weak to that.

Sounds good for me.

[More than good. There's only one problem with that, Marco.]

I don't think I know a man named Shanks.

Red-haired annoying guy with this stupid laugh like "Dahahaha" and drinks way more than you do.

He said he'd distract the marine for me, but I'll need him here in person if you could let him know.

I don't know about the drinking part, but I've someone on the line who fits the rest.

[Going to tell Shanks...]

What about you? You have a name?

Marco. Though sometimes he just calls me phoenix.

[... This is the first time ever Ikki feels pinged, it's a strange feeling.]

Phoenix, huh? That's a curious nickname to give someone.

It's my standard nickname back home. Completely unimaginative. But then since his other name for me is "First Division Commander" I guess that gives the other one a nice ring.

Unimaginative, are phoenixes that common at your world? I was under the impression that they weren't.

I'm the only one so far as I know.

Then it's not that unimaginative, is it? Though here it may be.

[voice] [100% unhackable. -- To Ikki. Smoker can't touch it]
